Health Tips of the Week
- According to Harvard Women’s Health Watch unequal leg length may be a risk for osteoarthritis of the knees. Perhaps shoe inserts or exercise therapy could be preventative.
- An across-the-board review of the health effects of Qigong and Tai Chi finds these practices offer benefits for the heart, immune system and overall quality of life.
- A new study shows that having depression may nearly double your risk of developing dementia later in life.
- When it comes to executing items on tomorrow’s to-do list, it’s best to think it over, then “sleep on it,” say psychologists at Washington University in St. Louis.
- People who eat a diet high in fructose, in the form of added sugar, are at increased risk of developing high blood pressure.
- Toddlers face double the risk of developing what is known as a febrile seizure within ten days of getting the MMRV vaccine. It is now recommended that parents request that their children receive the varicella, which is the vaccine for chicken pox, and the MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) vaccine separately, instead of in the combination vaccine.
- Preschool children with tooth decay may be more likely to be overweight or obese than the general population and, regardless of weight, are more likely to consume too many calories.
- Researchers found that regular coffee drinkers – those who drank more than four cups of coffee a day – had a 39 percent decreased risk of two types of head and neck cancer: oral cavity and pharynx cancers.
- Children of mothers whose blood glucose (sugar) was high during pregnancy are more likely to have low insulin sensitivity—a risk factor for type 2 diabetes—even after taking into consideration the children’s body weight, a new study shows.
- Postmenopausal women who experience bothersome hot flashes or night sweats may have an alternative treatment to estrogen. According to a new study, oral micronized progesterone relieves those symptoms.
- Vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent in patients with Type 2 diabetes and may be associated with poor blood sugar control, according to a new study.
